These look nice for starters - the BBC food website really is quite good for ideas. I've used it a few times and the dishes are quite varied.

Cheers for the links - im after more of a creamy bake, I even made a breadcrumb and cheese sprinkle and grilled till golden brown on top, but something tasted wrong. Im not sure if it was the cheese, or milk, or the white sauce though and couldnt google up much in the way of "chicken and bacon pasta bake"

Tesco does a fantastic ready made meal, but their chicken is flavourless to the point of being disgusting, like the chicken soaked in water to increase volume.

If you want it creamy have you tried adding cream? (To your fried chicken/bacon/onion/mushroom mix, add a splash of brandy, burn the alcohol off then add the cream, add the pasta, season it, eat it)



(Oh, you said healthy)

Then I'm afraid you need to ditch the C&P bake chap - carb+cals+salt=not good

Try seasoned grilled fish with fresh veggies and decent bread. Its easier to cook if nothing else!
